Fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas! 35 perished, 160+ injured
Last night this tiny town of 2000, West, TX had an explosion so massive from the fertilizer plant that it registered 2.5 on the richter scale! People 25 miles away from this felt it, as it rattled glass windows. It created a mushroom cloud not unlike a nuclear bomb being detonated! All structures within a 4 block radius was desimated.
Just now on the news they are saying they are not 100% positive that it was an accident. If it wasn't that means someone or people did this on purpose. What now?
If anyone has time to get a news article with all updates-please post.
God Bless the affected people of West, TX
God Bless the affected people on Boston, Mass.
God Bless The United States of America!

This is so horrible-those poor people. I saw the coverage on this today too (aside from the terrorist news) and my heart just breaks for these people. So many died and many more lost everything in this!
God bless them all!

I wish the cable news outlets would switch gears a bit now and cover this more. The terrorists are taken care of now and this story is HUGE! If this Boston terror would not have happened at the same time this would be 24/7 coverage. These people need the attention so the donations roll in! IMO.
The Boston story is extremely important don't get me wrong. But I don't care to hear all the pundits back and forth speculations and guesses. It is very silly most of the time and very few are actually experts in this matter. They can break into broadcasts with updates when an actual professional has a statement.
Get on to the Texas story!

Everyone it looks like CNN (not that I'm a great all day fan-just AC360 mainly) is covering the Texas explosion today.
I agree Capricious, this Texas story is Massive!
